Mustang Ridge Cop Jacob Cuevas Busted for DWI In His Patrol Car

Police Officer Jacob Cuevas Caught Driving Drunk

Mustang Ridge, Texas

I had never heard of Mustang Ridge until today. It’s a small community outside of Austin. And it is also the home of police officer Jacob Cuevas, who was arrested for Driving While Intoxicated in his marked patrol car.

Around 1:15 Wednesday afternoon, Officer Jacob Cuevas was spotted by a passerby in Guadalupe County, a little more than 40 miles from Mustang Ridge, slumped over the steering wheel of his patrol car.

Cuevas was off-duty and in plain clothes, and it isn’t known why he was in his police unit.

Guadalupe County Sheriff Deputies found Cuevas driving on FM 621.

When he was pulled over, deputies said they could smell alcohol on Cuevas and they also said that he appeared intoxicated. He allegedly didn't do so well with field sobriety tests either.

Cuevas was arrested and charged with DWI. He was taken to the Guadalupe County Jail in Seguin.

Cuevas posted a $10,000 bond and was on administrative leave, pending the outcome of his case.
